I don’t know how I feel about Amazon’s annual Prime Days, but I guess it makes sense to consider some relevant deals. You can click here and have at it. The Kindle Scribe, an excellent e-reader, is substantially discounted, and so too are the Paperwhite (or bundle) and the base Kindle (or bundle). You’ll find a long list of printed books on sale on this page and this page. Then you’ve got your Apple Watches and AirPods and iPads and all that stuff on this page. To be honest, there are some really good deals to be had on toys, games, electronics, and lots of other stuff.
Today’s Kindle deals include a small list of deals for the time being, but I’ll update first thing in the morning.

All We Have Left Undone
Faith Chang writes about all those things we have left undone. “Those of us who struggle with anxiety about committing sins of omission often bear the heavy burden of knowing our failures to obey God not only grieve him but cause harm to others. We know all too well the ways in which our failures to love end up hurting those in our churches, friendships, neighborhoods, and families.”
What Does the Bible Teach About Divorce and Remarriage?
There are a few different views about what the Bible teaches about divorce and remarriage. Jim Newheiser explains his perspective in this article at TGC. (For a longer explanation, you could read his book on the subject.) “My understanding is that the Bible permits divorce and remarriage in particular instances. But not every Christian agrees with this conclusion. So what are the common evangelical views on divorce and remarriage, and how do we evaluate them biblically?”
Why I Am a Christian: The Problem of Evil
Some people claim that Christianity has no good solution to the problem of evil. Yet here R. Scott Clark tells why the Bible’s answers to the problem of evil give him greater confidence in the Christian faith.
How America’s Premier Theologian Interpreted God’s Providence After Lincoln Was Assassinated
Justin Taylor looks to a presidential assassination of long ago and asks how one of that era’s foremost theologians interpreted God’s providence in it. Very interesting!
Will God Judge People for Being Born Muslim?
Will God judge people and send them to hell because they were born Muslim? John Piper does a good job of clarifying the questions and providing an answer.
Theological Discernment Is for Moms Too
Lara d’Entremont: “As we seek to protect our children from false teaching, we aren’t left to aimlessly hope for the best. Instead, we can rest confidently in God’s word and the Holy Spirit as we exercise discernment each day in motherhood. The greater work of salvation is his, and we find rest as we rely on his power.”
Flashback: A Sober Warning from the Earliest Christians
Where tolerance once called for respect despite disagreement, today it calls for far more. We are considered tolerant only when we advocate and celebrate new understandings of marriage, sexuality, and gender.
It takes no less grace to save a child from a sinful future than it does to save an adult from a sinful past.
